IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Before you throw away your old unit:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant
removed by a
qualified service
technician.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned appliances are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old unit, please
follow the instructions below to help pre-
vent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/recycle for more informa-
tion on recycling your old appliance.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluoro-
carbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment
if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrig-
erator, make sure the refrigerant is re-
moved for proper disposal by a qualified
technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
Safety Instructions
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids, or aerosols
within or in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding flammability
and other hazards.
• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in
the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts
of automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Child Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after you unpack the
refrigerator. Children should
NEVER
use
these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers, and
can quickly cause suffocation.
